Very thought provoking! I don't know? Should I take responsibility for Dragon... or he for me?

TY for the kind words..... I'm working on my writing just a little now and try to capture some truths now and then. I value your comments and covet the rarified air that you breathe..... Just keep your eye out..... I still occasionally post one...... Love Ya dearly.... Jake
